Team USA Doc Pleads Guilty To Sexually Assaulting Gymnasts

They will also not add any additional charges for dozens of other sexual assault cases.

Visibly emotional, his voice at times shaken, the former doctor admitted to using his power and authority to sexually abuse young women and girls, all but one of them during medical appointments.

Nassar originally was charged with more than 20 counts of first-degree criminal sexual conduct and was scheduled to go to trial December 4. The maximum sentence he could face is life in prison.

In an interview with CBS' 60 Minutes that aired November 12, Raisman alleged she was one of the gymnasts who was sexually abused by Nassar.

"Michigan State University continues to be shocked and appalled by Larry Nassar's now-admitted criminal conduct", he said.

"I think it can help us move on and like Christine said, we know that we're not insane, we weren't just making this up in our heads", she said.

"I'm so sorry that this was like a match that turned into a forest fire, out of control", he said. I pray the rosary every day for forgiveness. I want them to heal; I want this community to heal. "He was a doctor and he told me that his treatment would help heal all of my injuries".

"I kind of feel like it was a manipulation tactic of him saying well I'm doing this for you guys, I'm doing this so you can start healing and the community can start healing", she said. I guess that's the biggest thing. "It's like all these years we haven't been able to talk or second guess what he was doing and now it's finally making sense and hearing it from him today is going to allow us to move forward".

Three of the charges against Nassar involved victims under the age of 13, according to CNN.

Dr. Lawrence G. Nassar, 54, was charged with the molestation of seven girls, most of whom were gymnasts, but he has been accused of various levels of inappropriate or abusive sexual behavior by a group of more than 130 women and girls, including the Olympic gold medalists Aly Raisman, McKayla Maroney and Gabby Douglas.

"I didn't publicly share my experiences as well as many other things because for years we were conditioned to stay silent and honestly some things were extremely painful". He criticized an internal review at Michigan State and called for an investigation of university officials by Michigan Attorney General Bill Schuette, whose office is prosecuting Nassar. "He was such a master manipulator, and I think that's what's important for people to understand is that these monsters are so good at manipulating you so you're so brainwashed to think-I thought he was so nice". This is so much bigger than just me.

"Brings motivation to make change for future, our students and the people we care about and everyone around us that this won't happen to them, certainly not by this man", Smith said.

Following the hearing, victim Rachael Denhollander said she was "grateful for the army of women that has stopped a paedophile".

"It felt very uncomfortable, very degrading. Why?" The physician was arrested previous year on the child pornography charges including receipt and attempted receipt of child pornography, possession of child pornography, and destruction and concealment of records and tangible objects.

During the hearing Ms Raisman, a member of the 2012 and 2016 Olympic teams, tweeted that she was "disgusted" that Nassar, who lost his licence, was referred to as a doctor.

"We are more than a year from my police report". He also could have to pay a $250,000 fine for each count.
